".
Export controls of dual-use items, meaning goods which can be used for both civil and military purposes, have been the subject of EU-level actions for around 15 years.
These controls have a high impact on European trade policy, since they can affect over 10% of all EU exports. In my opinion, the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon and its clarification of the EU’s competencies in the area of international trade provide an invaluable opportunity to reaffirm the role of the Union and the European Parliament’s responsibility within the EU’s institutional framework for decision making.
The main export control tool is Regulation (CE) No 428/2009, which introduced a number of significant changes to the scope of dual-use export controls -use items in the European Union. I believe, specifically, that the EU regime relating to dual-use items should be organised in a more transparent way.
To this end, I agree with the rapporteur’s belief that full European Parliament involvement, through the application of the Treaty of Lisbon’s obligations and its joint interpretation agreed by Parliament and the Commission within the new Framework Agreement, would be crucial."@en1
